Last week I registered a domain through Yahoo Domains. All was well until a Yahoo technician, without my consent or knowledge, did the following criminal actions: 1. Removed the private registration from my site (so now everyone can see that I registered it, even though I paid for a service to hide the info). 2. Switched the administrative and tech contact email addresses to a bogus address so that I would not be able to gain access to my own domain. Repeated calls to yahoo have resulted in them admitting that the actions of their technician were criminal and probably done to voice his displeasure with the content of my domain name (it was a conservative political domain name). They then refused to resolve the situation or offer a refund and told me to call Melbourne IT in Australia (Yahoo resells Melbourne's domain name registrations). Unfortunately, Melbourne IT can't send me the domain registry key (authorization code) because the Yahoo technician changed the admin and tech email addresses to a bogus address. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to gain access to the domain name AND hold Yahoo and/or its criminal employee responsible? Thanks!
Make sure it wasnt hacked before you blame Yahoo workers. Changing private data with bogous info sounds like vandalism and not sabotage by the registrar technician.
New domains, at any registrar, cannot be moved for 60 days so you don't need and can't use the Auth code yet. Can you still login to your control panel with your username and password? You don't not mention this in your post. If not, focus on this with Yahoo to get access restored to your control panel.
The situation was resolved and the mixup was not intentional. Admins: Please remove this thread. Thanks.
